Why is it that in other country's you only pay for outgoing calls be here we have to pay for incoming as well. This dose not sit right with me. What you guys think

I think cell phone companies are definitely overcharging for their services, because they know people are willing to pay high prices for the convenience... For a lot of people, cell phones have become a "necessity" and the companies take advantage of this by charging enormous monthly fees and lots of other additional fees ( roaming charges, early contract termination fees, etc.).

I decided to give up my cell phone several months ago and I couldn't be happier with this decision (even though my mother and girlfriend don't like not being able to reach me 24/7). I was only spending like $15-$20 per month on my prepaid cell service, but that is money I could be saving / spending on true necessities like groceries and rent or on entertainment.
